Miami Dolphins vs Cincinnati Bengals Prediction & Picks - NFL

Prediction published on 10/9/26, 1:00 PM  by Bill Christy | Modified on 10/9/26 at 1:00 PM in NFL Picks

The Miami Dolphins are still searching for their 1st win of the season. They will host the 2-2 Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday in what is likely to not be an easy game for the home team.

Miami was outscored by a total of 50 points in their 1st three losses to Vegas, San Francisco, and Kansas City. That said, many expected them to have a similar result in their game last week against the 3-0 Vikings. They did not. Instead, they trailed by just 2 points as they headed deep into the 4th quarter. A late field goal from Minnesota pushed the deficit to 5, and after a punt, the Vikings were able to bleed the rest of the 6 minutes off the clock for the win.

Cincinnati, like every year in the Joe Burrow era, has come into the season with high hopes. And like most years, there are already many doubts about this team’s ability to be one of the superior teams in the league. They started things off with wins over the Bucs and Texans, but have since dropped their last two to the Steelers and the Jaguars. Granted, Ja’marr Chase was injured early in the game last week, but they still have enough weapons on offense to score more than 17 points, as they did.
